Calicivirus

Picornavirus

Virus-virus yang ditemukan di traktus gastrointestinal





Ò Rotaviruses
Ò Adenoviruses 40/41
Ò Caliciviruses
Ò Norwalk like viruses or SRSV (Small Round Structured Viruses)
Ò Astroviruses
Ò SRV (Small Round Viruses)
Ò Coronaviruses
Ò Toroviruses





ROTAVIRUS





Family Reoviridae
Genus Rotavirus
Other genera Orthreovirus, Coltivirus, orbivirus (sheep)

EM identification from duodenal biopsies from children with diarrhea.
"Virus particles in epithelial cells of duodenal mucosa from children with acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis," Lancet, 1:1281-3, 1973

•Structure
–Naked double shell capsid
–11 segment double stranded RNA genome
•Pathogenesis
–Fecal oral transmission
–Replication in cytoplasm
–Fever, vomiting, diarrhea in infants and young children
–Incubation period less than 48 hr, highly infectious
–Infection of intestinal epithelium causes loss of electrolytes and prevents readsorption of water
–Long term immunity; asymptomatic infection in adults
•Diagnosis
–viral antigen detection
•Treatment/prevention
–RotaTeq live, oral vaccine



ADENOVIRUS
ÒIsolated 1953 by Rowe from adenoidal tissue
ÒLinear double-stranded DNA
Ò70-75nm in diameter
ÒGenus: Mammalian AV (mastadenoviruses)
É6 human subgenera (A-F)
É51 human serotypes (1-51)
ÒKnown oncogenic potential of some serotypes
ÒCommonly used as vectors in
  gene therapy and vaccine delivery
ÒIncubation period 3 -10 days
ÒDiarrhea lasts for 10 -14 days
ÒCan also cause intussusception, mesenteric adenitis, appendicitis
ÒTreatment with cidofovir promising for severe disease in immunocompromised



HUMAN CALICIVIRUS (HUCV)




•Family Caliciviridae
•Non-enveloped RNA viruses
with ss [+] sense RNA
•27-35 nm in size
•Contains single capsid protein 
Morphology typical :
•32 cup-like depressions
• EM appearance of “Star of David”
• 31-35 nm size
          E.g.- Sapporo-like viruses 

Morphology A-typical 
    •Smaller size- approx. 27 nm
• Rough, feathery surface but no   internal pattern
• Small Round Structured viruses
         E.g.- Norwalk-like viruses  


SPREAD



ÒPerson-to-person fecal-oral spread (stool/vomitus)
ÒFecal contamination of food or water
ÒFomites (stool/vomitus)
ÒIngestion of aerosolized particles

SPREAD-VIABILITY


ÒSurvive on surfaces for several days
ÒSurvive in water chlorinated at routine levels (up to 10 ppm)
ÒSurvive freezing, heating up to 60°C
ÒEvidently survive in steamed shellfish
